ful Improvements in Bag-Holders, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to bag holders, and

the invention consists in a. device adapted to hold a bag open forfilling as well as serving lto grip and support the bag while it isbeing filled, all substantially as shown and described and particularlypointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of the holder, and4Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof as in Fig. l and having the bandand engaging wire bro-ken away from side to side. Fig. 3 isasideelevation of the holder showing aI bag engaged therein, and Fig. 4is ay crosssection corresponding to line 4 4, Fig. `l, except the backwall.

As thus shown the complete device is comprised in three leading partsconsist-ing of a bracket B, which preferably is cast in t-he desiredshape and has a base or back portion 2 and two forwardly projected armsorportions 3 of a suitable length to engage the other parts therewith.The bracket B has open slots. 4 or their equivalent to engage the saidbracket upon the wall W by spikes,

pins or the like, and the said arms are bored or have holes laterallythrough the same and substantially rect-angular recesses in their frontand to portions ada ted to afford support for t e two parts and Drespectively. The said part or bail D, socalled, is o-f a band shape incross section andbent to an elongated form laterally in its bodywhileits ends 5' are bent back at substantially right angles and lie iatagainst the outside of the said arms or projections 3 and are perforatedat their extremities through the base of arms 43. Otherwise the ends 5of said bail are connected by a rod or wire E Iait their angle and saidrod is adapted to rest down on the lextremities ofsaid arms. Thebagfastening loop C likewise has its extremities outside said arms 3 andoutside the ends 5 -of the bail and also pivoted o n the thereon, thatIis,

outer ends of cross or pivot rod R. Said loop may have any preferredcross sectional shape so that it will lit rather closely all around onor over the outside of bail D about the edge thereof `and engage a bagbetween said bail and loop or fastening member C. The said loop is of a.springy metal and adapted to exert a binding effect on the bail when thebag is engaged thereby, and the said bail is preferably iiat on bothsides but may have any other preferred shape which will enable themember or loop C to spring over t-he same land grip the bag against theoutside thereof. 'I depend upon a friction grip rather than hooks or thelike for holding the bag. No

possible injury can be inflicted upon the bag by this means and yet thebag is efectually and easily engaged and disengaged, as is obvious. .Thesaid bail and loop C are adapted to be turned up against the wall whennot used, where they also are out of the way.

Usually in placing the bracket B in using position it is put at suchelevation that the bottom of the bag will rest on the floor while themouth thereof is grip ed and distended in the holder, so that in act theweight o-f the contents will rest upon the floor for the most part andnot be carried by the holder. It should be noted -that the practice isto enter the bag, G, from the inside and turn the edge or mouth thereofoutward and downward over the bail and then bring the loop C down overthe outside of bag and bail. `This makes a very firm engagement.

What I claim is:

A bag-holder comprisinga bracket adaptved to be hung upon a wall havingtwo inte- 'jected through said holes in said arms and outside,substantially as Yshown and` de- 10 having the extremities of said bailand said scribed.

loop pivotally xed thereon one against the In testimony whereof I afiixmy signature other and a. rod connecting the sides of said in presenceof two witnesses. bail forward of said pivots and adapted to rest in thesaid recesses in the top and front of said arms, the said loop C beingfree to Witnesses:

swing into closing relation over a bag drawn H. H. KNAPP, through saidbail and lapped over the same A. A. BARBER.
